Ryn takes over the family business… of grave digging. But here's the problem: the dead don't always stay dead. Some say it is a curse, but all Ryn knows is that the risen dead, called Bone Houses, start attacking when a mysterious visitor named Ellis arrives in their village of Colbren. It is up to Ryn and Ellis to venture into the heart of the mountain to face a decades-old curse and hidden truths about themselves. Readers will love this combination classic horror story and original fairytale! (Florida Teen Reads nominees 2021)
